a Food groups were categorized followed those applied in data of National Survey in the year 2010 [16]. b Mean body weight (bw) of children was 11.3 kg. c Medium bound (MB) figures (ND = LOD/2) were used for mean. Lower bound (LB) and upper bound (UB) figures (ND = 0, ND = LOD) were used for range. d Children risk of hepatitis carcinogen is calculated on the assumption of HbsAg + prevalence 2% [14] and mean exposure. e MOE, Margin of exposure, based on the calculated as a ratio of benchmark dose lower limit 10% lower bound of AFB1 (170 ng/kw bw/day [6]) or OTA (21 µg/kg bw/day [27]) and MB of exposure. HCC, hepatocellular cancer; RC, renal cancer. f MOEs adjusted by age-dependent adjustment factors for children aged 2–16 (ADAF = 3.16) [28].
